"Yes, we've been his brothers since childhood, and he's always been so cold to us," Fu Jiheng and Gu Lin chimed in.
"Do you two want a drink? A glass of wine will warm you up," Qin Si Ye suddenly raised his glass and asked them.
The two exchanged a smile, knowing he was afraid Yin Xi would feel embarrassed and wanted to stop them from continuing the topic. They quickly picked up their glasses and said, "Yes, yes."
A moment later, Fu Run Ze brought the topic back, "Mom, since carrying multiple babies is so tough, why don't you just have one? I don't want you to be so tired."
"Okay. Just one, and it has to be a girl, right?" He Xin Meng glanced at Fu Jiheng and smiled at her son.
"Dad and Mom will work hard to fulfill your wish."
After the meal, everyone didn't get up to leave immediately but continued chatting. Qiao Lu then quietly asked Yin Xi, "I want to go to the restroom, are you coming?"
"Okay. I want to go too. Let's go, I'll accompany you." Yin Xi stood up and walked out with her.
Soon, Yin Xi came out of the restroom. Qiao Lu wasn't done yet, so Yin Xi stood outside, washing her hands, waiting for her.
At that moment, a soft, charming, yet familiar voice came from behind, and Yin Xi couldn't help but listen intently.
"Godfather, you're so naughty. Why did you make me drink so much just now?"
Then, a middle-aged man's voice replied, "Lin Lin, it's more fun after drinking. I like how wild you get when you're drunk."
Hearing this, Yin Xi suddenly turned around and met Bai Lin's astonished gaze.
As if caught red-handed, she immediately released Qian Feng's arm. Yin Xi stared directly at them. The information Jian Fan had investigated was indeed correct; this Bai Lin had acknowledged Qian Feng as her godfather, and they were involved in an illicit relationship.
"Lin Lin, what's wrong? Who is she?" Qian Feng seemed a bit unsteady, looking at Yin Xi with hazy eyes.
Bai Lin snuggled closer to him and whispered, "Yin Xi, the owner of Xinglin Pharmacy."
Upon hearing this, Qian Feng's mind cleared up by half. He extended his hand to Yin Xi, "So it's President Yin. I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you today."
Yin Xi walked forward two steps, but didn't shake his hand. Instead, she smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Qian is too kind. You are the elder in K City's pharmaceutical industry, a role model for us young people to learn from."
He awkwardly lowered his hand and looked at her with a forced smile. "I don't dare to be called an elder. Our marketing and pharmaceutical production still use old methods. Compared to you newcomers, we are almost obsolete."
Yin Xi understood the deeper meaning in his words. He was implying that her arrival had squeezed his market share in K City's pharmaceutical industry.
"Competition in the market brings vitality. Survival of the fittest is a natural law," Yin Xi met his slightly angry gaze neither subserviently nor arrogantly.
Hearing this, Qian Feng suddenly chuckled. "President Yin has indeed spent time abroad and seen the world. Your demeanor and tone are truly extraordinary. I hear your Addy Biology primarily produces Chinese herbal medicine, and it sells very well. I hope we can cooperate in K City in the future."
Yin Xi's lips curved into a slight smile. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qian. We have only just established ourselves in K City, so we can't be compared to your established companies of over ten years. As long as Mr. Qian doesn't make things difficult for us, that's enough. If you eat the meat, leave us a bit of the soup."
Qian Feng was startled. Her words were clearly pointed and had hidden meanings. He was confused and frowned, asking, "President Yin, what do you mean by that? Could it be… could it be that our company has done something that has caused you misunderstanding?"
Yin Xi glanced at Bai Lin and immediately saw that Qian Feng was not the mastermind behind that incident. She became even more certain that Bai Lin and Meng Qi were responsible.
"No, I was just speaking casually, a reminder for Mr. Qian," Yin Xi quickly replied with a smile.
Bai Lin, standing aside, seemed a bit distracted and said to Qian Feng, "Godfather, don't we have something else to do?"
"Right, right, right, we… we do have something else. President Yin, we'll meet again." Qian Feng's face lit up with joy. He immediately grabbed Bai Lin and staggered away.
